I am really excited about this DIY Easter banner. I am usually not much of a paper crafter, but I had a lot of fun making this. I wanted something that said more than Happy Easter, so I came up with the saying “No Bunny Loves me Like Ewe do.”

1. I started by cutting out all my letters and backing them with card stock. I did it free hand, but you could use a stencil or print a font from your computer that you like. I made the Os eggs to add a little more Easter spirit. I punched holes in the tops to hang them with paper clips.

2. Next, I made a bunny out of paper and burlap. The whiskers are strands of burlap I pulled out for this Easter Egg Pillow. I hot glued it all together.

3. I was inspired by Linda’s twine wrapped heart idea, though I used a styrofoam heart and wrapped it a little differently. I attached the heart and S with ribbon.

4. I made the dot for the i with paper and burlap. I cut out different shapes, bent up the edges and layered them using sticky foam spacers to give it more dimension.

5. I made the lamb or ewe from some incredibly soft fabric. Not sure what it’s called but the back looks like fake tan suede. I cut out a cloud shape with a tail and added a little oval for an ear. Then, I added feet and a head with brown card stock.

I hot glued the pieces together and on to a piece of paper to add color and hold it together better.

6. Hang all the pieces from a ribbon with paper clips and you’re done!

I had a ton of scraps that I have big plans for. What do you think I will be making? Stay tuned….

Now that St. Patty’s is past I was in the mood to get a little Easter Craft on. I had seen some burlap pillows around the blogoshpere and thought it would be fun to make a burlap Easter egg pillow. But, alas, I have no sewing machine thus, the No Sew Burlap Easter Egg Pillow was born or laid. ha ha ha.

1. I cut out a pattern for the size of egg I wanted. Then I traced this on to the burlap and cut out the two sides.
2. I laid out the ribbon and sequins to see what pattern I liked and cut with about an inch extra on either end.

3. I snipped the burlap strings where I wanted the ribbon to be woven in and pulled the strings out toward the center to prevent the edges from fraying.
4. I wove the ribbon in going over 10 strings and under. I alternated the pattern so the over on one ribbon area would be the under on the next.
5. I hot glued the sequin strings in place.
6. I wrapped the extra length of ribbon around the back and glued it.

7. I hot glued the edges of the two sides of the egg a bit at a time. Once about halfway glued, I began stuffing the pillow with plastic grocery bags (idea here). I alternated stuffing and gluing until the pillow was full.
